Dear Reader,
|
|
|
|
Hello! Glad you have taken the time to look at ThrobNet
|
|
International Adult Network. If you are not familiar with us, you
|
|
soon will be <g>.
|
|
|
|
ThrobNet was started way back in 1989 when Violet got so horny that
|
|
her hubby Doug Kent couldn't give her what she needed anymore.
|
|
Violet, not knowing anything about computers, made Doug (with her
|
|
whip) start up an all adult BBS so she had somewhere to play. Doug
|
|
already had a regular BBS (Zooman's Zoo) running in NYC. So, they
|
|
started echoing the adult conferences between the 2. After a few
|
|
months of this, several other BBS's had inquired on how they could
|
|
get linked into these conferences. ThrobNet was born! Doug and
|
|
Violet devoted 2 years to the network. Then they decided to step
|
|
down. Joe Crosby had joined ThrobNet in it's early days, and when
|
|
Doug decided he couldn't take it anymore, he passed it onto Joe.
|
|
|
|
Since it's beginnings, ThrobNet has grown into the worlds
|
|
largest *ADULTS* only network, with over 500 systems world-wide!
|
|
In the last 5 years, ThrobNet has appeared several times in The Wall
|
|
Street Journal, Newsweek, Time, Playboy and a host of other
|
|
publications. However, we have encountered more and more potential
|
|
legal roadblocks. We believe strongly that you have a constitutional
|
|
right to read and write the materials contained in ThrobNet's conference
|
|
bases. But, we do find it necessary for you to sign the disclaimer form.
|
|
By asking you to sign this disclaimer, we are simply insuring that you
|
|
are an adult, and that you are giving an informed consent, since any
|
|
consent is only valid if you are truly informed.
|
|
|
|
1) You are 21 years of age or older
|
|
2) You are aware that ThrobNet contains material of an
|
|
adult nature
|
|
3) You will refrain from using any materials that does not
|
|
meet your local community standards.
|
|
4) You are indeed, the owner of the BBS system applying for
|
|
access.
|
|
5) You are aware that you are NOT to allow any other BBS
|
|
to echo ANY ThrobNet conference from you, without approval
|
|
from ThrobNet administration.
|
|
6) You realize that by signing this form, you are
|
|
acknowledging that you are solely responsible for obtaining
|
|
proof of age from your users/clients/friends, and ThrobNet
|
|
International Adult Network, Joe Crosby, Laura Brito, Doug
|
|
Kent, Violet, Laura's Lair nor Crosby Enterprises
|
|
will be responsible for your proof, or lack thereof.
|
|
7) Pirating of software, illegal activities, discussions about
|
|
having sex with animals and/or children (less than 18 years of
|
|
age) is strictly forbidden in any ThrobNet conference. These
|
|
can not be discussed in any, shape or form, not even in third
|
|
party settings, and you will inform your users of the same.
|
|
8) You are acknowledging that free speech does not exist in
|
|
ThrobNet. Any conversation or user may be removed at
|
|
ThrobNet Administration's discretion. The Administration is
|
|
not required to give advanced warnings before such removals.
|
|
|
|
The Network Host will not be responsible for any problems
|
|
resulting from membership in the network. Participation in the
|
|
network and the network conferences will not cause any
|
|
responsibility, legal or otherwise, to be placed on the Network
|
|
Host, the network itself, the Sysops of Laura's Lair, or related
|
|
parties. The participating node or hub is responsible for all
|
|
applicable laws and regulations, not the network or Laura's Lair.
|
|
Once a fee is paid, it is non-refundable. No if's and's or but's
|
|
about it.
|
|
|
|
Other Network rules are as follows:
|
|
|
|
All Network-related discussion is to take place in the NetAdmin
|
|
conference, which should be open only to Sysops of Network Hubs or Nodes.
|
|
Final word on any issue is to be decided by ThrobNet Administration.
|
|
Hubs in the network cannot redistribute the conferences to other BBS's
|
|
unless those other systems have already been admitted to the network. By
|
|
applying to the network, you are accepting these rules and regulations,
|
|
along with any other rules the network decides to enact at a later date.
|
|
Aliases are permitted in all conferences, although it is preferred
|
|
that Sysops use their real names, or sign all messages with their
|
|
BBS name.
|
|
|
|
Our philosophy is simple. We are all adults, and we are doing this to
|
|
have fun. We at ThrobNet do not have a big egos, nor do we pretend to be
|
|
SysGods, but when we make a ruling, we expect it to be followed. There are
|
|
a few subjects that are definite no-no's on the network. Child Pornography &
|
|
Beastiality are allowed to be discussed in a fantasy setting only. You
|
|
may not trade videos, or otherwise assist others in obtaining videos,
|
|
pic's GIF's or any other form of graphic presentation of the
|
|
aforementioned subjects, via any ThrobNet conference. Repeated
|
|
infractions will cause undo hardship for those involved.
